The Luke Evans Style Lookbook

There are plenty of good castings in Disney’s live-action adaptation of Beauty and the Beast, but Luke Evans’ turn as walking machismo machine Gaston is perhaps the best.

It’s not just the Welshman’s acting pedigree – he’s played everyone from a Greek God in Clash of the Titans to a man who may (or may not) have killed his wife in The Girl on the Train – or his impressive set of pipes that made him perfect for the role. It’s also because the character’s chiselled frame and admired dress sense spills over into real life where Evans is concerned.

In swapping the Welsh Valleys for the Hollywood Hills, the 37-year-old has established himself as one of the most promising actors of the new generation, and a dab hand at both on- and off-duty dressing. Here we showcase 20 of his best looks. We warn you, in the words of Gaston, as a specimen he’s intimidating.
